| | certainly I know that "it depends". However, I am not sure if any specimen exchange should be involved to "money" and "payment" as stated by the original post! To be honest, I am reluctant to see insect trading in this website, either it's in a small amount or in hundreds, and especially in the so-called scientific studies. Then, I do believe that any qualified entomologist shouldn't be involved to commercial activities, it's 2003, not 19th or the early 20th centuries!
If Olivier is still keen to get some specimens of Delias from Taiwan for his own purposes, I suppose he should have known some Japanese and Taiwanese dealers (eg CC Loh) who can offer the specimens in reasonable prices.
I just want to address the differeces between "personal collecting" and "scientific researches". Nowadays any scientist should take the responsibility to maintain the natural resources of either their own states of the country their researches involve with. Have you seen any guy who publically post to buy Lucanus beetle from UK or to buy some rare subspecies of Maculinea in Europe?
